Wasn't Shaq a free agent?

Yes as noted flip Shaq w/ Kobe but yes this franchise is the luckiest of any franchise in pro sports in my lifetime.

An NBA player is the most marketable athlete in all of American professional sports.  They are naturally going to want to be with the most marketable franchise.  You've got to deliver on the court to reach those heights, but a star for the Lakers is going to earn more than a star for Orlando.

Which is why I don't think you can count Shaq.  He just did what was best for his brand at the time.
